Getting Better

Kayla and I went slacklining this week and we learned some new stuff. If I can ever figure out how to get videos from my digital camera to my computer, I'll try to post them. We have a list of cool tricks we want to learn this summer- Yay for summer!


Kayla is working on doing a scorpion on the slack line!

this is me trying not to fall....

Fixing a Hole

So, a while back, we had this huge flood in the basement and had to pull up all the carpet and replace the padding. I guess there was some leak (thank goodness Kayla noticed before it got worse) from the upstairs kitchen sink that found its way through the ceiling and into my room and bathroom. Awesome. Sean and I did a lot of the clean up. My room looked pretty crappy during this project. Kayla was staying with us for a week too. It was fun to have her hang out at the house with us. As you can see, Sean was glad to have another person to tease. He kept knocking her down with huge pillows and tried to grab her shoulders with his ape feet. Ew!

All My Loving

So, its been seven days and counting. Sean entered the MTC last Wednesday. He got set apart Tuesday night. I was lucky enough to get to go to both of those events. I didn't even cry and I haven't cried since! I'm really proud of that. As much as my life is way different and it feels upside down without Sean here- it somehow feels right. So, here starts the mission. And I find that I have some time on my hands to finally start up this blog again! A big Hooray for Sean- and may he survive the MTC. By the way, he decided to strike that pose himself-

I'll Be Back

So I made it to Orem and I'm all moved in. It still feels like a visit except that all my stuff is here in my new room with me. Its been good to be back and to see some of my best friends. I do admit though, that it has been very hard for me to be so far away from my dear nephews and Eden. I am so glad I got to spend the past three months around them. They were my social life down there. I watched movies with them, ate with them and played with them. Naturally I have come to love the movies The Incredibles, Meet the Robinsons and The Backyardigans. I also love eating applesauce, fruit loops and those little Gerber nibblet things (baby snacks). Needless to say, I miss you Jonah, Eden, Levi and my old "roomie" Marcelus much more than I thought I would. This is a good thing though. It just means I'll have to visit them more than I used to when I lived out here before...

Ticket To Ride

So I have been living down here in Arizona with Lexie and I am actually heading back "home" to Orem next week. I miss the mountains. The past few months I have been working for a Harley Davidson dealership. Needless to say, I've been introduced to a whole different world. I am truly the ultimate poser there- the only employee in my department who doesn't have visible tattoos or facial peircings. I am also one of the only ones there who doesn't have a bike. They were nice enough to overlook this and hire me for a bit anyway. As much as it might be a rougher crowd than I'm used to, I can say I've made some very dear friends and now know a thing or two about a Hog.

This is Kala and Sarah-

As you can see we clown around a lot at the end of the night

From Me To You

I refused to create a blog when my sisters suggested I do so. I didn't see the point since I'm single and such a nomad...but since i got a digital camera from my parents for Christmas, I figure I should put it to use. Maybe this way my mom and sisters can find out what I'm up to from time to time....and know that I'm alive since I'm not one to "check in" very often.
